Analysis

Section 5. Contribution to impact

Describe on-site impacts (the major two impacts by category)

2.  revégétalisation des espaces dégradées
2. amélioration du revenu du paysan
1.  sécurité alimentaire
2- amélioration de la fertilité du sol
1. améliorer la biodiversité (faune et flore)
1. réduction de la pauvreté

Describe the major two off-site (i.e. not occurring in the location but in the surrounding areas) impacts

1. réduction de l'érosion hydrique et éolienne
1. amélioration des revenus
2. réduction de l'exode rural

Impact on biodiversity and climate change

Explain the reasons:

l'amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire;
augmentation des revenus des populations;
Elle a permis la revégétalisation des sols au niveau des sites et l'amélioration de la biodiversité dans la zone . On a observé l’apparition des espèces disparues dans le département de Illéla.
le reboisement/boisement a permis de renforcer le puit de carbone.
